I barely got the livestream up on time for this, but I’m glad I did, because it left me teary eyed.

Neat that I live at a time where I can set this kind of alarm on my phone.

I really enjoyed watching Artemis II lift off yesterday and immediately realized that I would also enjoy tuning into the live broadcast over the course of the mission. The YouTube feed is pretty good, but what I’d really love (and haven’t been able to find) is to find an audio-only feed that I could plug into my internet radio client and just listen to. I’m mostly interested in tuning in to the mission while working, and while the audio will make for good white noise, I don’t really need (or even want) the visuals in there.

Kerbal Space Program has prepared me to answer kiddo questions about basic orbital mechanics, but she is (rightly!) more concerned with why there hasn’t been a woman on the moon yet.

Artemis II has not captured a lot of my attention because it’s hard to get excited about anything my country is doing right now, but I made a last minute decision to put the launch on, and even just listening to mission control is super neat.

Sad news. I had the livestream up and was hoping to watch the launch before going into the office today.
